NZ Man Rides On Motorway with BBQ on Motorcycle

A New Zealander photographed riding a motorcycle along Melbourne's Eastern Freeway with a barbecue strapped to his body has admitted it wasn't a bright idea.

And the man known only as "Stuart" is also having second thoughts about an earlier incident when he carried a two-seater couch on his motorbike. "I do think it was dangerous," he said. "I don't think I'll carry anything but a pillion passenger from now on."

Stuart, 27, was ridiculed when the newspaper published a photo yesterday of his barbecue escapade.

An astonished motorist had snapped him while he was transporting the barbecue on the Eastern Freeway on Sunday evening.
